Environmental Requirements
Risk of damage to
installation, or environment.
• Handle with care to prevent damage to the plastic components.
• Do not mount VFD on equipment with excessive vibration.
• Install in a location where temperature is within the range of product rating.
• Mount VFD vertically (top up) for proper heat dissipation.
• Do not mount VFD in direct sunlight or near other heat sources.
• Do not install in corrosive environments.
• Installation of non-approved screening may damage the drive and/or reduce output.
The MonoDrive Utility is intended for operation in ambient temperatures from -13 °F to 122 °F
(-25 °C to 50 °C). Use the following recommendations when selecting a location to mount the
drive:
• The unit should be mounted on a structure such as a wall
or post capable of supporting the weight of the unit.
• The MonoDrive Utility electronics are air-cooled. Allow at
least 6 inches (15.24 cm) of clearance on each side and 18
inches (45.7 cm) below the unit for air flow.
• The mounting location should have access to 230 VAC
electrical supply and to the motor wiring. To avoid possi-
ble interference with other appliances, refer to

Special Considerations for Outdoor Use
The MonoDrive Utility is suitable for outdoor use with a NEMA
3R rating; however, the following considerations should be
made when installing the controller outdoors:
• The unit must be mounted vertically with the wiring end
oriented downward, and the cover must be properly
secured (also applies to indoor installations).
• Mount the drive on a surface or back plate no smaller than the outer dimensions of the enclo-
sure.
• NEMA 3R enclosures are capable of withstanding downward-directed rain only. Protect from
hose-directed or sprayed water as well as blowing rain. Failure to do so may result in controller
failure.
• Install away from direct sunlight or locations subject to extreme temperatures or humidity.
• Use appropriate screening for the air inlet and outlet when installed in areas where insect or
small animal intrusion is an issue. Refer to
• Screens should be cleaned on a regular basis to ensure proper airflow.
